  • Andorra lies in the Pyrenees, between France and Spain.
  • It is one of Europe’s most mountainous countries. The lowest place is 840 metres above sea level, rising to the snow capped Coma Pedrosa at 2496 metres, which is reached by a cable car.
  • Reputedly founded by Charlemagne in 805 AD as reward for fighting the Saracens, Andorra has been ruled as a co-principality by the Bishop of Ugell and the Count of Foix since 1278. The latter title now belongs to the President of France.
  • A democratic parliament was established in 1993, giving the country a unique political structure.
  • The small population of 80,000 is boosted by around 8 million tourists who come for the sun, clean air, winter sports and tax free shopping.
  • The two main ski resorts of Grandvalira and Vallnord  have over 300 km of snowy slopes.
  • Caldea is the  biggest spa in Southern Europe, covering 30,000 square metres. Situated 1,100 metres above sea level, thermal spring water is used in a variety of health treatments.
  • Local Andorrans speak Catalan, although Spanish and French are also understood.

About the Andorra Flag

This Andorra flag has been in use since 1866, and consists of a tricolour of blue, yellow and red with the coat of arms of Andorra in the centre. The motto on the coat of arms reads "virtus unita fortior" which is Latin for "virtue united is stronger".

The flag purposely borrows its colours and tricolour design from the French and Spanish flags, as these two countries are its neighbours.
